It can be built up by adding more and more constraints, and it will reduce them to the simplest representation. .PP Logically impossible constraints will be identified immediately by thrown exceptions. .SH "METHODS" .IX Header "METHODS" .SS "new" .IX Subsection "new" .Vb 1 \& my $req = CPAN::Meta::Requirements\->new; .Ve .PP This returns a new CPAN::Meta::Requirements object. It ignores any arguments given. .SS "add_minimum" .IX Subsection "add_minimum" .Vb 1 \& $req\->add_minimum( $module => $version ); .Ve .PP This adds a new minimum version requirement. If the new requirement is redundant to the existing specification, this has no effect. .PP Minimum requirements are inclusive. \f(CW$version\fR is required, along with any greater version number. .PP This method returns the requirements object. .SS "add_maximum" .IX Subsection "add_maximum" .Vb 1 \& $req\->add_maximum( $module => $version ); .Ve .PP This adds a new maximum version requirement. If the new requirement is redundant to the existing specification, this has no effect. .PP Maximum requirements are inclusive. No version strictly greater than the given version is allowed. .PP This method returns the requirements object. .SS "add_exclusion" .IX Subsection "add_exclusion" .Vb 1 \& $req\->add_exclusion( $module => $version ); .Ve .PP This adds a new excluded version. For example, you might use these three method calls: .PP .Vb 2 \& $req\->add_minimum( $module => \*(Aq1.00\*(Aq ); \& $req\->add_maximum( $module => \*(Aq1.82\*(Aq ); \& \& $req\->add_exclusion( $module => \*(Aq1.75\*(Aq ); .Ve .PP Any version between 1.00 and 1.82 inclusive would be acceptable, except for 1.75. .PP This method returns the requirements object. .SS "exact_version" .IX Subsection "exact_version" .Vb 1 \& $req\->exact_version( $module => $version ); .Ve .PP This sets the version required for the given module to \fIexactly\fR the given version. No other version would be considered acceptable. .PP This method returns the requirements object. .SS "add_requirements" .IX Subsection "add_requirements" .Vb 1 \& $req\->add_requirements( $another_req_object ); .Ve .PP This method adds all the requirements in the given CPAN::Meta::Requirements object to the requirements object on which it was called. If there are any conflicts, an exception is thrown. .PP This method returns the requirements object. .SS "accepts_module" .IX Subsection "accepts_module" .Vb 1 \& my $bool = $req\->accepts_modules($module => $version); .Ve .PP Given an module and version, this method returns true if the version specification for the module accepts the provided version. In other words, given: .PP .Vb 1 \& Module => \*(Aq>= 1.00, < 2.00\*(Aq .Ve .PP We will accept 1.00 and 1.75 but not 0.50 or 2.00. .PP For modules that do not appear in the requirements, this method will return true. .SS "clear_requirement" .IX Subsection "clear_requirement" .Vb 1 \& $req\->clear_requirement( $module ); .Ve .PP This removes the requirement for a given module from the object. .PP This method returns the requirements object. .SS "required_modules" .IX Subsection "required_modules" This method returns a list of all the modules for which requirements have been specified. .SS "clone" .IX Subsection "clone" .Vb 1 \& $req\->clone; .Ve .PP This method returns a clone of the invocant. The clone and the original object can then be changed independent of one another. .SS "is_simple" .IX Subsection "is_simple" This method returns true if and only if all requirements are inclusive minimums \&\*(-- that is, if their string expression is just the version number. .SS "is_finalized" .IX Subsection "is_finalized" This method returns true if the requirements have been finalized by having the \&\f(CW\*(C`finalize\*(C'\fR method called on them. .SS "finalize" .IX Subsection "finalize" This method marks the requirements finalized. Subsequent attempts to change the requirements will be fatal, \fIif\fR they would result in a change. If they would not alter the requirements, they have no effect. .PP If a finalized set of requirements is cloned, the cloned requirements are not also finalized. .SS "as_string_hash" .IX Subsection "as_string_hash" This returns a reference to a hash describing the requirements using the strings in the \fI\s-1META\s0.yml\fR specification. .PP For example after the following program: .PP .Vb 1 \& my $req = CPAN::Meta::Requirements\->new; \& \& $req\->add_minimum(\*(AqCPAN::Meta::Requirements\*(Aq => 0.102); \& \& $req\->add_minimum(\*(AqLibrary::Foo\*(Aq => 1.208); \& \& $req\->add_maximum(\*(AqLibrary::Foo\*(Aq => 2.602); \& \& $req\->add_minimum(\*(AqModule::Bar\*(Aq => \*(Aqv1.2.3\*(Aq); \& \& $req\->add_exclusion(\*(AqModule::Bar\*(Aq => \*(Aqv1.2.8\*(Aq); \& \& $req\->exact_version(\*(AqXyzzy\*(Aq => \*(Aq6.01\*(Aq); \& \& my $hashref = $req\->as_string_hash; .Ve .PP \&\f(CW$hashref\fR would contain: .PP .Vb 6 \& { \& \*(AqCPAN::Meta::Requirements\*(Aq => \*(Aq0.102\*(Aq, \& \*(AqLibrary::Foo\*(Aq => \*(Aq>= 1.208, <= 2.206\*(Aq, \& \*(AqModule::Bar\*(Aq => \*(Aq>= v1.2.3, != v1.2.8\*(Aq, \& \*(AqXyzzy\*(Aq => \*(Aq== 6.01\*(Aq, \& } .Ve .SS "from_string_hash" .IX Subsection "from_string_hash" .Vb 1 \& my $req = CPAN::Meta::Requirements\->from_string_hash( \e%hash ); .Ve .PP This is an alternate constructor for a CPAN::Meta::Requirements object. It takes a hash of module names and version requirement strings and returns a new CPAN::Meta::Requirements object. .SH "AUTHORS" .IX Header "AUTHORS" .IP "\(bu" 4 David Golden <dagolden@cpan.org> .IP "\(bu" 4 Ricardo Signes <rjbs@cpan.org> .SH "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" This software is copyright (c) 2010 by David Golden and Ricardo Signes. .PP This is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as the Perl 5 programming language system itself.
